DESCRIPTION:Contemporary theology has to address two major issues: It has 
 to find a self-reflexive attitude towards those of other religious faiths\
 , and it has to find its place within the surroundings of a broadly secula
 r society. Usually\, comparative theology has a particular stronghold in t
 he first of these two issues. However\, comparative theology does not very
  often take a look at the second of these issues: How does comparative the
 ology deal with predominantly secular societies\, at least when it comes t
 o Western societies? Is there anything that comparative theology might lea
 rn from the debate on religious faith and the legitimatory foundations of 
 secular democracies?\n\nIn this paper presentation\, I will reconstruct th
 e debate on religious convictions in the public sphere and connect this de
 bate to genuinely theological questions. A special emphasis will be lain o
 n the question of context-transcendent criteria of (public) reason and the
 ir value for (comparative) theology.
